Feature: Files open directory in Files active pane when that directory is typed in the address bar #12954
Description
What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
In Files 2.5.10.0 if you edit the address bar and type a directory and hit enter the a Windows File Explorer is launched with the directory the user typed.
The request is that Files behaves like Windows File Explorer in this scenario:
If in Windows File explorer a user type a Directory in the address bar and hits enter the that directory it's shown in the current pane.
Files, IMO, should behave the same.

Requirements
- If the "Address Bar" of Files is edited to a directory and the user hits enter then Files should check if what the user typed is a directory.
- If it is, that directory should be displayed in Files current pane having in mind that several panes can be opened.
- If it is not, then a default behavior should be executed. Perhaps showing an alert that what the user typed is not a directory.
Better yet. Do other analysis like checking if what the user typed is a regular file ans try to invoke the default handler of that kind of file. Or something like that.
